Project Risk Management

1. Project Risk Management

Sections of this presentation were adapted
from A Guide to the Project Management
Body of Knowledge 4th Edition, Project
Management Institute Inc., © 2008

2. Risk Management

“The process involved with identifying,
analyzing, and responding to risk. It
includes maximizing the results of positive
risks and minimizing the consequences of
negative events”

3. Why Do We Manage Risk?

Project problems can be reduced as much
as 90% by using risk analysis
Positives:
More info available during planning
Improved probability of success/optimum
project
Negatives:
Belief that all risks are accounted for
Project cut due to risk level

4. Key Terms

Risk Tolerance – The amount of
acceptable risk
Risk Adverse – Someone that does not
want to take risks
Risk Factors
Probability of occurrence
Range of possible outcomes (impact or
amount at stake
Expected Timing of event
Anticipated frequency of risk events from that
source

5. How Do We Manage Risk?

Use the six risk management processes

7. What is a Risk Management Plan?

Methodology – Approach, tools, & data
Roles & Responsibilities
Budgeting – Resources to be put into risk
management
Timing – When and how often
Risk Categories – Risk Breakdown
Structure (RBS)
Definitions – Risk probabilities and impact

8. What is a Risk Mgmt Plan (Cont’d)?

Probability and Impact Matrix
Stakeholder tolerances
Reporting formats
Tracking

9. Risk Breakdown Structure

Lists categories and subcategories where
risks may arise
Project
Technical

11. Information Gathering Techniques

Brainstorming
Delphi technique
Successive anonymous questionnaires on
project risks with responses summarized for
further analysis
Interviewing
Root cause identification
Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats (SWOT) analysis

Also known as Ishikawa or fishbone

15. Methodologies

Probability and Impact Matrix
Based on Failure Modes and Effects
Analysis (FMEA)
From 1950’s analysis of military systems

16. Probability and Impact Matrix

Define Probability Scale & Impact Scale
Impact Scale
Consequence
Extreme
Health and Safety
Fatality or multiple fatalities
expected
High
Severe injury or disability likely; or
some potential for fatality
Moderate
Lost time or injury likely; or some
potential for serious injuries; or
small risk of fatality
Low
First aid required; or small risk of
serious injury
Negligible
Probability Scale
No concern
Likelihood Class
Not Likely (NL)
Low (L)
Likelihood of Occurrence
(events/year)
<0.01% chance of
occurrence
0.01 - 0.1% chance of
occurrence
Moderate (M)
0.1 - 1% chance of
occurrence
High (H)
1 - 10% chance of
occurrence
Expected (E)
>10% chance of occurrence

17. Probability and Impact Plots

Rate each
risk on
scales
then plot
on matrix
Develop
mitigation
technique
for risks
above
tolerance

18. Risk Register Update

Add
Probability and Impact Matrix results
Perform quality check on results
Categorize the risks to make them easier to
handle
Perform urgency assessment to determine
which risk need immediate attention
